Strings really do make a difference

[Katau]

I've been a hard-core GHS fan for many many years. 10-52 But recently down-tuned my 6-string to A...the 10-52s weren't sounding so good. So, decided to change the guage. Long story short, the shop I went to didn't have any GHS bigger than 10-52, so I ended up with Ernie Ball 12-56 "Not Even Slinky"...WOW...what a difference! These things sound so much better and record with less brittleness. Just thought I'd share.

WOW MAAAN!!!
Is it true???
Unbeliveable!

LOL - I'll make sure I add you to my "he's a condescending prick" list

I really liked the sound of DR strings... check those out sometime!

 

[::XeS::]

D'addario!

 

[Metal Overload]

The best strings i ever played was Labellas "Hard Rockin Steel", but i can find the gauge i use anymore, but this are the must durable strings, now im using ernie ball

And D'addario all the way for me!

I very much like the DR's as well. I can never find 'em at my town's crappy music stores, though.

I love DR, but they don't make Baritone gauges (heavy ass bastards). So basically I'm stuck with either ordering ernie ball or buying what I can locally which is Danelectro.

Danelectro strings?

That sounds like the string equivalent of behringer products.

I use Thomastik Infelds or Pyramids... religiously if I can help it.

Sure, they're expensive as fuck, but easily well worth it.

D`Addario stainless steel for me, tried Elixir, Labella and Ernie Ball.

I tried the "Not Even Slinky" set, but the unwound 18-gauge 3rd string sounded like arse.
I'm playing with Rotosound at present. Good, but perhaps a little dry sounding.

 

[PostMortem1666]

the 3rd string in the "not even slinky" set is a 24 gauge. i actually like ernie ball strings except on the "beefy slinky" set the 3rd string is kinda gay.

 

[TheIllicitOne]

I absolutely hate Ernie Ball. I use D'addario 13s all the time and they're great.

Anyone ever use dunlop strings?

I was using the ghs Zack Wylde 10-60 but now i guess dunlop endorses him and they have the same size. Here is a link to them...

I bought a pack but have not used them yet just curious if anyone has ever used Dunlop strings and there opinion of them.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Actually beleive it or not, danelectro baritone strings are not that bad.

 

[Djabthrash]

Always been satisfied with Ernie Ball strings.

Using a 12-54 gauge set on my C# standard tuned Schecter Hellraiser C1-FR.

d'addario... all the way
